Just thought up this little game.
A poster starts with a Book that they enjoyed. They list it. The next poster replies and says one of three things: * Thumbs Up, * Thumbs Down, or * Haven't read it. Then that same poster names another book (of course with the author) and the cycle continues. If anyone wants to discuss any person's review of it or anything, you may gladly do so (and if you'd like to extol more on your thumbs up/down, go for it).
I'll start things off:

Havent read " Stalingrad ", " War of Wars " or " Hitman " but " Slaughterhouse Five " and " The Hobbit " are both big thumbs up for me. How about " Helter Skelter " by Vincent Bugliosi.

yeah I was just gonna say that too. Maybe the rules of the thread should change to only thumbs up and thumbs down and people just shouldn't reply if they haven't read it. 
anyway, I don't wanna reply with another "haven't read it" so whoever's next can take Ender's Game.
